After all, the paper cannot contain the fire. Although Luo Shixin strictly prohibits soldiers from rumoring the assassin of the palace, this incident was still quietly spread through various channels. √

The next morning, some well-informed people in Zhongdu City had heard the rumors first. Although it was just a rumor, many people still confirmed the authenticity of the rumors through some abnormal states of the Sui army. For example, the city gates have been strictly controlled and only entry and not exit are allowed. There are patrol soldiers everywhere on the streets. All monks, monks and Taoists, were taken to the military camp to investigate.

Although Du Ruhui listened to Xiao Yu's suggestion and promptly lifted the curfew and martial law the next day before dawn, it still could not stop the fluctuations in the market. The next morning, the rice price soared from 80 meter rice to 100 meter, which further encouraged the spread of various rumors. The fastest and most widely spread was that the prince of Qi had been assassinated by assassins.

At Pingyuan Inn in Wuhuai Lane, a guy hurried into the door and shouted in panic: "Shopkeeper! Shopkeeper!"

"I said when will you be quiet, you are dead monkey?"

"What a big deal!"

The guy's face changed in fear and said in a low voice: "Assassin appeared in the palace last night."

"I have heard of this, what's the big fuss about it!"

“It’s not related to our inn.”

The guy dragged the shopkeeper into the small room under the stairs and took out a notice from his arms, "Shopkeeper takes a look at this."

The shopkeeper took over the notice and the paste behind it was not dry yet. It was obviously just lifted off the wall. He opened the notice and raised the oil lamp to look carefully. He was immediately scared and sweated. Three Taoist priests were wanted on the notice, two men and one woman.

Aren't these the three strange Taoist priests who lived in their inn? The shopkeeper felt that his legs were weak, and it turned out that they were assassins.

"Shopkeeper, do you want to report to the official?"

The guy pointed to the upstairs. The shopkeeper understood what he meant. There was an accomplice in the room. He was a little hesitant. The man secretly stuffed him twenty taels of gold this morning, saying that he was sick and moved to the attic, and he was not allowed to tell anyone.

The shopkeeper touched the gold in his arms, and the man said that he would give the gold again after he recovered from the illness. The shopkeeper finally understood the person's meaning, and he used a lot of money to buy himself and wanted to cover him. He did not move into the attic, but clearly hid in the attic.

The notice said that those who provide clues have a reward, but they have to give themselves 120 taels of gold! They will have no worries about food and clothing for the second half of their life.

The shopkeeper was a little hesitant for a moment, and the guy was anxious, "Shopkeeper, that person is an assassin!"

The shopkeeper nodded, "I'll go and have a look."

The shopkeeper secretly climbed outside the third floor. There was originally a pigeon chamber next to the attic. Because the government had strictly prohibited private pigeon raising last year, the pigeon chamber became empty. The shopkeeper carefully climbed into the pigeon chamber and held his breath and leaned on the wooden board next to him. Through several small holes in the wooden board, you can see the situation in the attic.

The attic was covered with dust and was filled with all kinds of debris. Among the debris, a man in black sat cross-legged on the ground, wiping a long sword with a shining shining with cold light.

At this time, the man suddenly turned around, the long scar on his face was particularly hideous, and the shopkeeper was so scared that he sat on the ground with his butt, his eyes wide open.

He suddenly realized that the reason why this man did not kill him today was because he was afraid of alarming the enemy and exposed him. But once the limelight came over, he would definitely kill himself to silence him. Maybe he would kill himself tonight.

The shopkeeper almost climbed into the lobby on the first floor. He took out a bottle of wine from the cabinet and fed several big mouthfuls. Then he took out a pack of medicine powder tremblingly. He sniffed the medicine powder and gritted his teeth and said to the guy: "You go to the kitchen to bring a meal, and then go to the cellar to get a jar of good wine."

...........

A quarter of an hour later, Luo Shixin personally led 500 soldiers to surround Pingyuan Inn, and he transferred another 2,000 soldiers to surround the entire Wuhuai Lane.

Luo Shixin quickly walked into the yard, the shopkeeper and the clerk hurriedly came out, and Luo Shixin asked, "Would that person be there?"

"Here! Still in the attic, the villain sent him wine mixed with medicine, and his horse also put crotons."

Luo Shixin waved his hand and said, "Preserve all the people in the hotel and be interrogated strictly!"

He threw the iron spear to his personal soldiers, pulled out his combat knife and said to the shopkeeper: "Lead ahead!"

The shopkeeper trembled with Luo Shixin and dozens of soldiers to the third floor, and came to the small stairs of the attic. He pointed above, "The attic is above."

"You go away!"

Luo Shixin walked forward and saw that the stairs were too small and it was inconvenient to dodge. He picked up a shield, carried a knife and walked up the attic, followed by three lieutenants with great martial arts skills.

Luo Shixin walked to the attic door, kicked open the door with a 'bang!', and a sharp axe fell from above his head, embedded heavily into the wooden board, stirring up a stream of dust.

At this time, Luo Shixin had already seen a man in black lying on the floor. A jar of wine was poured over the ground next to him. The wine flowed all over the territory. Luo Shixin sneered and said to his subordinates: "Bind him up, be careful of fraud!"

Three lieutenants rushed up and tied up the man in black lying on the floor. The man drank a lot of alcohol with drugs and was unconscious. A long scar on his face was particularly eye-catching.

Luo Shixin then walked into the attic and saw a lot of weapons piled up beside the man hiding, and several large packages, one of which showed golden gold. Luo Shixin was not interested in gold, and what he wanted was evidence of the source of the assassin.

At this time, a lieutenant touched a sheepskin letter from the man in black and hurriedly handed it to Luo Shixin and said, "General, look at this!"

Luo Shixin opened the letter, which was filled with Turkic words. At this time, another lieutenant found three gold medals from a package, "General, this seems to be the things of three assassins."

Luo Shixin took over a gold medal, named Li Qingshan, which turned out to be the gold medal of worship given by Liang Shidu. Luo Shixin was overjoyed, and these were the evidence he wanted.

"Take all the items away!"

At noon, the Sui army abolished the city gate control order, the people began to enter and exit freely, all the arrested suspects were released, and the patrol control in Zhongdu was completely restored to normal circumstances. The military also issued a formal announcement, and the three assassins were arrested, and the prince of the King of Qi was safe and sound.

Although both the military and the government wanted to try their best to restore the peace of Zhongdu, the food prices in Zhongdu are still rising, from the rice dumplings in the morning to 150 citrus of rice dumplings, which is nearly doubled compared with the previous day.

Grain prices are the weather vane of prices and are also the center-keeping market. Once the food prices cannot be controlled, the remaining prices will rise rapidly, and the people's and the morale of the army will be violently turbulent. In the current war, this will have a fatal impact on the morale of the army.

At noon, at Su Wei's suggestion, Ziwei Pavilion held an emergency meeting for the Prime Minister, including the Ministry of Revenue, Taifu Temple, Sinong Temple and other main aide-deputy officials. In addition, Du Ruhui, the military secretary of the Qi Prince's Mansion Record Office and Luo Shixin were also invited to Ziwei Pavilion to discuss the meeting.

But today's emergency meeting is not just the risk of losing control of grain prices, but also the opinions on handling the assassination in the palace. Ziwei Pavilion needs to communicate with the Qi Palace.

The seven prime ministers all knew about the assassination of the palace that was born last night, and everyone was shocked. The assassination of the palace was an extremely serious incident no matter which dynasty or generation.

Du Ruhui first reported the progress of the assassination to everyone, "General Luo has already captured the assassin's accomplice, the man is called Gulin and his Chinese name is Zhao Shuang. He is the confidant of the Turkic high priest Moyalon and the deputy general manager of the Jinshan Palace. General Luo has found this letter from him."

Du Ruhui raised the sheepskin letter, "This is an order written by the Turkic high priest to his subordinates hidden in Beihai County, but he did not know that the subordinates of Beihai County had been wiped out. The letter mentioned the arrangements for the assassination of the palace, which can prove that the palace assassination case and the Turkic cavalry of the Beihai were both planned by the Turkic high priest Moyalon, in order to cooperate with the Turkic army invasion south."

Du Ruhui raised the three-sided gold medal and said, "This is the identity card of the three assassins, proving that their identities are warriors in the Lingzhou worship hall. In other words, Master Liang is the assistant to the assassination of the palace. Therefore, the truth of the palace assassination has been revealed. I will write a report with General Luo to submit it to Ziwei Pavilion and His Highness the Regent."

Su Wei asked Luo Shixin again, "Is there anything else that General Luo wants to add?"

Luo Shixin shook his head, "Du Shenjun has made it clear, I have not added it."

Su Wei then said slowly: "The assassination has been born, and Mr. Yuwen unfortunately died. The prince escaped by chance, but he cannot let the matter go astray just because the prince is safe. If he does not reflect thoroughly and hold him accountable, the assassination will be born again. We negotiated urgently in the morning and proposed two plans, and asked Du Shenjun and General Luo to discuss it together."
